 Poster: A snowHead
|
Last winter BBC Scotland filmed a 6 part documentary about Cairngorm ski area.
Just watched the first episode this evening.
Was a decent enough bit of prime time TV.
Available soon via IPLAYER link below for those that missed it (or live south of Berwick).

Sadly, though Tyrol is south of Berwick, the BBC iPlayer doesn't stretch that far (and I've never worked up the energy to fiddle with proxy servers).

It was winter 2013/14. We were there in January and there were notices up warning that they may be filming for the program.

They are featuring it on TV tonight.
Not a mention that it is dated 2015.
Until the end of the credits.
Not a mention obviously that the Funicular access has been out of action for four seasons.

I'm pretty sure it is. Same equipment, same snow. You might not like it but for some of us it's a livelihood and also what we choose to do.

To be fair, the lift-served skiers' snow in the Alps is usually groomed to within an inch of its life, and, slope for slope, the off-piste skiers' snow in the Alps is usually less challenging.
So perhaps Ionizingskin meant predictable skiing rather than just skiing ?

You know it makes sense.

@moffatross, Have a look at his past posts - there's a whiff of troll in them

Yes can’t wait for that famous Scottish component of the the free ride world where they ski on icy rocks just for the ‘challenge’

@MorningGory, ah, OK  Now you mention it, their posting style reminds me of someone who used to post here and on the UKC forums under the handle 'gaelforce' and 'Nevis1234' or something like that (and someone who I think I met in Verbier about 15 years ago).
